Staying on top of education legislation is more important than ever, and IASP is here to keep you informed every step of the way. I'm excited to share the IASP Legislative Update Podcast, where I break down the latest developments from the Indiana General Assembly and explore what they mean for schools across our state.

Each Friday, I cover key legislative actions affecting teacher compensation, school accountability, curriculum standards, student rights, and more. Here are some highlights from this week's episode:

✅ SB 146 – Teacher Compensation (PASSED 13-0): Increases the minimum teacher salary from $40K to $45K per year. ✅ HB 1499 – School Accountability (PASSED 13-0): Changes exemptions for students in the ML cohort for IREAD. ✅ HB 1634 – Math Education (PASSED 12-0): Adjusts proficiency standards to better support student learning. ✅ HB 1660 – Student Absences for FFA & 4-H (HELD): Discusses mandatory excused absences for student participation in these programs.

With only a few more weeks of legislative activity ahead, we'll continue to track the bills that will soon impact your schools and your students.

Together, we're paving the path to progress in Indiana education!
